I like how the answer key has pictures of the celebs being rediculous.

That's my favorite part of this Puzzler. Malcolm McDowell is probably the best.

4/10. I never usually pay much attention to voice actors. If they're super recognizable or I've heard beforehand, awesome. If not, then I only check after I've finished the game if it was really bugging me. It kinda ruins the immersion for me when I can easily put a name to a face, you know?

I know what you mean. That happens in animated movies too. Knowing who the actors are can be distracting...especially if I'm not too fond of them.

8/10

Number one was a tricky one.

Good to know. I took my sweet time to make them as tricky as possible. You still nailed it, though.

Three out of 10. I'm glad that I knew #1. He's the big reason why I want to play Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Patrick in a Castlevania game still blows my mind away.

His work (including voice overs) is always memorable. I really liked Lords of Shadow, even though it's a big departure from other titles in the series. I particularly enjoyed the ending. Give it a try!

9/10.

Although it wasn't the one I got wrong, number 8 was very clever. It also made me sad. My childhood wishes that he voiced a certain other character from those 4.

I know! At least we can always count on him narrating Fallout games. "War. War never changes."
